Update 2: Free Super Saver Shipping deadline in time for Christmas delivery has been extended to December 19.

Update: It seems the BOGO page has been taken down with a message saying that "this deal has expired." I pushed two Lotso's dump truck through to the final order screen and still saw a 25% discount. If you act fast enough before they change their code, you can still net the discount.

This might be one of the last updates I do for Amazon. Their window for Christmas delivery using Free Super Saver Shipping closes on December 17, which is tomorrow. So if you've been procrastinating about ordering stuff from Amazon, tomorrow would be your deadline to save on shipping and still get things in time for Christmas. Of course, if you have Amazon Prime, that's a whole other ball game. You can view their shipping schedule for more information.

One other thing you have to consider is that once an item that is sold and shipped by Amazon is sold out, third party vendors items become the default shopping option, and prices tend to shoot upwards once that happens. So with that, let's move on to the deals.

Amazon still has their BOGO 50% off page up and running. Scanning the deals, I've spotted a few sets that continue to go lower in price.

I, personally, have been waiting for this one: 7789 Lotso's Dump Truck is finally seeing a discount: $12.99 down from $19.99. This was the last set I needed to complete my Toy Story collection before the line goes poof (it's already discontinued).

I’ve recently started collecting legos with my 2 sons. It’s my impression that Star Wars Legos very rarely go on sale. However, It seems like they’ve been going on sale left and right this Christmas. Am I correct?

Where else do you all like to read SW Lego news?

That's been my impression. I don't ever remember a time where there were so many discounts on Lego, much less Star Wars Lego. I guess a lousy economy will do that...

I think you hit the nail on the head. They must make a pretty good spread on Lego to discount them by that much...especially the Star Wars items. Seriously, taking advantage of 25% off at TRU PLUS their discount on the Solar Sailor was pretty impressive. One of the best Star Wars Lego deals for TRU. I'm hoping that the Toy Story stuff continues to drop as I'm banking on getting stuff a litttle bit cheaper.

I don't pretend to know what the cost of producing or selling these sets is, but in my opinion, as of late it has all been over priced starting at the asking retail price. All of the Toy Stoy theme sets were over priced. Prince of Persia movie was a flop, thus hurting merchandising sales. Toys R Us mark ups over the already to high retail price is usually laughable. Add to all this, a failing world economy and you get 50% of of "retail" prices (over priced retail in my opinion). It seems almost like a game Lego and retailers have created of over pricing the starting retail price and then reducing them later through various programs, coupons deals, or daily deals.

Of course if you have the extra income, then these are exceptional deals. Considering the discounted price to piece count they are very good deals regardless if you like the set. If you don't have the extra cash just remember: Bankers will not accept payments in Lego. Lego also doesn't digest well in the stomach: you can't eat them.

The BOGO50 page may be down, but some of the deals are still live. There is a (maybe new?) page up http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?i ... ag=fbtb-20that advertises up to 60% off toys for boys. There is a section called 'construction' that has many lego sets listed. For the handful that I tested [PoP Quest Against Time, Gateway of the Squid, and of course Tantive IV] the BOGO50 was still working. Some of the prices are slightly higher than I recall from yesterday. In my experience, this occurs on amazon just before sets sell out.
